A Tale of Two Cities

Lucie screamed. She rushed over to him, and he, leaning over the dock, hugged her. “Goodbye, my love. One day we shall meet again – in Heaven,” he murmured.
Have you ever read this book, A Tale of Two Cities? I have not read this book, and I don’t know about this book. This book’s cover picture was a little bit scary. That’s why I chose this book. This book story was about like an execution. A man is going to be put to death. The man has a wife. But he is going to be put to death. It was very sad. And in this story, how to kill the person was by guillotine, so that was too scary.

GUCCI

Gucci became more and more famous. So, the family opened a store in Rome. Then, almost everybody in Italy knew about Gucci products.

I chose this book, GUCCI. Do you know what GUCCI is? GUCCI is a fashion brand. I think almost all people in this around the world know this fashion brand. This fashion brand is from Italy. This brand has made by Guccio Gucci. So this brand called Gucci. This brand deal with like bags, shoes, purse or wallet, wrist watch, perfume, or of course dresses or clothes. I like this brand, because I like the logo of Gucci. I think this logo is very cute. I want to have something of this brand, but it’s too expensive for me.

The first time I knew this story was maybe 15 or 14 years ago. That is very long time ago. In this story, there is a girl names Alice. She is just a cute girl, but there are many other interesting characters in this story. It’s like Talking animals or moving cords. My favorite character is a Cheshire cat. This cat is a purple cat. He can disappeared. I really like this characters.
